Burmese pythons—one of the longest snakes in the world—have interesting eating habits. As opportunistic feeders, they wait ...

Saving Fish: New Method Tests Sewage For Dissolved Phosphorous Date: November 2, 2007 Source: American Chemical Society Summary: A new method for measuring certain forms of phosphorus - the ...

Yet the absence of phosphorus is notable. In 2018, research by Harvard's Manasvi Lingam and Avi Loeb concluded that phosphorus would be scarce in Enceladus' ocean because phosphorus in the rocks ...

Particular attention was paid to the sorption of dissolved organic phosphorus compounds with the view of facilitating the preservation of total phosphate samples collected on oceanographic cruises.

Steel slag is a filter material for removing dissolved phosphorus from runoff and drainage water. Researchers at Oklahoma State University tested the hydraulic conductivity of sieved steel slag ...

Dissolved phosphorus in stormwater comes from various sources, said Mamayek. It can come from fertilizers, but it can also exist in water because of decaying plant matter.

Ancient oceans with phosphorus-rich waters may have supported some of Earth’s earliest microbial life, according to a new ...

SwRI Lead Scientist Dr. Christopher Glein contributed to new findings that phosphorus in the form of orthophosphate (e.g., HPO 4 2-) is likely abundant in the subsurface ocean of Saturn's moon ...

Phosphorus, on the other hand, tends to get stuck in rocks and sediments. It doesn't dissolve well in water and doesn't cycle through the environment very quickly. Life needs a lot of phosphorus ...

Phosphorus must be dissolved in the soil solution to be taken up by plant roots. The dissolved forms of plant-available P in the soil solution are called orthophosphates (H 2 PO 4 - or HPO 4 2-, ...

A three-year study led by Ohio State University found that agricultural practices to reduce the phosphorus flowing into Lake Erie and causing harmful algal blooms have worked. But changes have not ...

The larger slag size removed 25% of the phosphorus over 6 to 8 months. Used slag from a phosphorus removal structure was able to keep phosphorus when exposed to clean water. Trenches filled with slag ...
